Trixie Activity Fun Board

It keeps my cats entertained for quite a while. Cleaning the small square holes is a little difficult but i manage with an old toothbrush.

They just are not interested. It was not cheap, so I feel bummed

Worried about my cat eating too much and this device helps him to eat less. Now, he has to earn each kibble making each feeding time much shorter AND more satiafying. My cat was declawed when I adopted him so I think he has trouble gripping the kibble as he won’t put his whole arm in the tunnel. So, as a solution I have the kibble spilling out more than it should (as shown in the video). This is not the fault of the manufacturer so I am still giving it a 5 star. Despite having to make a minor adjustment given my cat’s disability, it works as intended and the device should work great for cats with claws.

I bought this for a baby puppy and he loved this set!! A great price for so much enjoyment.

Se entretienen mucho comiendo en ese comedero, de hecho mis gatos ya prefieren comer de ahí que del clásico, les resulta un reto mental bueno para conseguir la comida

My boy cat got a little too chunky and so I knew it was time to edit his diet and how he was eating. I free fed dry which meant when he was bored he would graze often, hence the weight issue. This has replaced the free feed bowl and its actually working! This design helps them not to break in and cheat which is great! It is usable by multiple cats at once all different shapes and sizes. (My 4 different breeds can all use it!) It allows for slower, singular biscuit eating which means they have to 'work for their food' so less consumption. Genuinely my boy now prefers this to his wet food or even biscuits in a bowl!

I absolutely love this product, and I wish I would have found it sooner. My kitties are currently on a diet, and they were getting fed twice a day. They would all scarf down their food, sometimes too fast and they would throw it up (not good for them or me!) I ordered this initially as a treat feeder, but quickly changed it to my cats' permanent feeder. Although they still get fed twice a day, this feeder makes them work for their food, slowing them down so they can't inhale their food. Additionally, even though the amount of food that I give them has not changed, there is frequently food left over when it is time for the next feeding. I think that this indicates that they only eat what they really need, because they are too lazy to work for more food than they are hungry for. The center has 4 sections (well 5 if you count under the arch). I have found that there are really only 2 sections that make my cats work for their food. Going from the picture, on the far left is the arch. On top of the arch there are little sections that can fit several pieces of food, but a couple of my cats can eat them right out of the sections, which defeats the point of making them work for their food. The next section is a set of wavy dividers. My cats quickly figured out that they can take their paw and pull back all of the kibbles in a wave divider, and then eat a bunch at a time, again defeating the point. The next section is full of vertical fingers. This is one of the sections that I put their food in. They have to use their paws and they can only get a couple kibbles at a time, which serves my purpose of slowing them down and making them work for their food. The final section is 4 bubbles with holes at the top. I also put their food in this section. They can use their paws to scrape out a couple kibbles at a time. All of my cats (6) quickly learned to use each section of this, although they tend to have their favorite sections. I know this is anthropomorphizing, but I really think they have to concentrate and think when they get the kibble out, and they seem to enjoy the challenge. Since purchasing this, I have gotten several other thinking food puzzles for them, but this remains my favorite that all of my cats can do. Some of them are too complicated for some of my less gifted kitties, but all of them can do the activity center, which makes it a great feeder. I also love that it can be thrown in the dishwasher! Even though I am not using it for what I thought I would when I bought it, I like it even more using it this way, My kitties have only been on a diet for a couple of months, and some of them still have a ways to go, but using this eliminates the begging because they can get the food when they want it, but it makes it hard for them to overeat. The ONLY bad side to this is that it is plastic, and I have heard that it is not good to feed animals from plastic (though I am not sure exactly why). Perhaps chemicals from the plastic? If you are looking for something to challenge your cats, or just something to help put them on a diet, give this a try!
